Quick Charcoal Canister Vent Valve Q
Hi gents, if I were to fit a good charcoal canister vent valve from a 5th gen (2000-2001) into a 5.5gen (2002-2003, 3.5L drivetrain), will it be compatible and turn off the Service Engine Soon light, or do they have to be the exact matches by VIN number?
The only difference in part#s in the Nissan catalogue is the second set of numbers, 14935-5M00B for the 5.5gen and 14935-54U0D for the 2000-2001 models.
Anyone ever experimented and can report, or know?
Thank you!

Hi Will,
I'm guessing you did some research and may have already seen this, but just in case, have a look at
http://forums.maxima.org/5th-generat...02-maxima.html since it has some useful info, especially post #14.

Had the same problem on my 2003 last year. Tried the 12V method and saw no valve movement. Ended up replacing just the valve. The funny thing is, I already knew from reading the forums that some ppl recommended cutting the valve off the canister so as not to risk cracking the canister itself. So I started there, cut the valve away with a dremel, only to find that the remaining studs turned freely after all. Perhaps it was the dremel vibration that helped. So I was able to put the new valve on without needing JB Weld and codes haven't been back.
